Dell PowerVault 715N (Rackmount NAS Appliance) - Manual (Page 69)

Outline of the Deployment Procedure
The next two sections describe the procedures for implementing MSDSS in a smaller (local area network [LAN] only) or
larger (wide area network [WAN]) network. You need to adapt the guidelines to suit your environment and goals.
Small Environment
A small company with a LAN-based and uncomplicated network is often a likely candidate for a quick migration. After
doing all the preparations described in the above section, perform the following steps (adjusted, if necessary, to your
situation):
1. Back up your NetWare system and user data.
2. Install and configure a Windows 2000 domain controller (see the documentation that comes with your operating
system software).
3. Install the Novell Client for Windows 2000 from the Novell website
(http://www.novell.com/download/).
4. Replace services or applications that require NDS with software that is compatible with Active Directory. (Remove
NDS applications before you begin using MSDSS, except for ZENworks, which can be replaced by IntelliMirror at any
time.)
5. Install MSDSS from the system DomainUtils share.
NOTE: To access MSDSS software, map a network drive to \\xxxxxxx>\DomainUtils, where
xxxxxxx> is the name of the PowerVault 715N system.
6. Log on to the NDS tree or bindery server as administrator.
7. Log on to the appropriate Windows 2000 domain as a member of the Domain Admins group.
8. On the MSDSS server, open the Help files, and then print out the procedures "To perform a one-time migration"
and "To migrate files."
9. Click the Start button, and then point to Programs—> Administrative Tools—> Directory Synchronization to
start MSDSS.
10. Follow the instructions as described in the Help printout, "To perform a one-time migration." The prompts guide you
through the following steps:
a. Right-click MSDSS in the console tree, and then click New Session to start the New Session Wizard.
b. Specify whether objects are to be copied from NDS or Bindery.
c. Click Migration.
d. If you plan to migrate files as well as directory objects, click the Migrate Files check box.
You must also run the File Migration utility.
e. Specify the path to the Active Directory container into which you want to copy items.
f. Accept the default domain controller in which to store the migration log.
g. Specify the NDS Container or Bindery Container from which to copy items.
h. Provide the name and password of the Novell administrative account.
i. On the Initial Reverse Synchronization page, specify Password Options (such as Set passwords to
the user name.)
When you are performing a migration, this page does not include the option to actually perform an initial
reverse synchronization, but it is the page where you specify which password option you want to use.
j. Set synchronization mode to default object mapping or to custom object mapping.
k. If you select custom object mapping, you are prompted to manually establish one-to-one relationships
between pairs of objects.
